I see these companies have nice designs and cost less but does oen sacrifice quality or just saving $$$ becuse they have a strong brand name on the wheels. i definitely don't want some wheels that are made using inferior techniques and/or materials and then have them get bent or go out of round on me.

thanks.

depends on the weather
Borbet and Mille Miglia are TUV aprroved wheels and are very well built ......

As a company since, our business is primarily mail order we must be extremely diligent in our assessment of product quality. Because, we work on very slim profit margins and a warranty return will eat up what profit there is in any order because of the shipping charges back and forth to the customer. You will not see us carry products that are low quality for that very reason ..... you have no idea how many people want us to carry their products and get turned down by us on a regular basis

in short ....you can trust us and the products we carry and in the rare instance if you do happen to have any issues we will take care of them ASAP. We've been doing this for over 22 years and are pretty good at it
